A new lease on life...


Today is now over…becoming yesterday in just a few moments. Thank God for letting the sun set today. We have had such a hard time with Peter getting through school and I feel blessed to have this under out belt. He has a couple of classes this summer and then, viola, he is done!
I feel as though we are always hurrying up to wait. I don’t want those feelings of “just get through ________” and everything will work out. After July I pray may faith grows even deeper in knowing that God will provide for us, no matter what.

Quilt market starts soon! We are in the middle of the highest stress level that my work has to offer. Very exciting though, 10 more days and I will be done with that crunch and we will be able to go on a mini-vacation! Hooray!!

Spring is in the air...finally



So my house is totally torn apart, this seems to be a recurring event in my home. Every spring, as society requests, I feel the need to remove all of the items in my house I haven't used in the past year. Now--for a normal person this may be an easy task, however I own fabric--for those of you who do not, you do not know the attachment that comes from the different pieces of art. I have just resigned myself to accepting that I can not give them away, it is selfishness in 
truest form. So immediately this puts a dent in my "clearing" situation.

Next I decide to sort through my magazines, indexing each one I like by ripping it from the magazine and filing it away in a binder. Now ripped up magazine shreds are all over my living room floor. 

Now I go on to pulling every item I own out of a shelf, drawer, or nook and cranny and place these items into categorized piles. So there is literally no hope for my house looking like a home...more like a sick treasure
trove of useless stuff, tons of clothes and every unfinished hobby ever thought of. 

What I am trying to get to is that Spring cleaning is a terrible idea, we should all make a list and have a non-biased party come in, read the list of things we wish to keep and promptly remove the rest.  My house has crap everywhere--with trails leading from room to room, and my inspiration for cleaning has abruptly left. I now choose to lay on my sofa and eat bon-bons while watching LMN movies....

Maybe I'll watch Martha Stewart tomorrow and hope she can inspire me to finish before the weekend.

Any non-biased party interested in starting a bon-fire and throwing my stuff in it?
